1
Test 1.
2
Now turn to part one.
3
Part 1.
4
You will hear a woman phoning a friend, to get information about a job agency.
5
First, you have some time to look at questions 1 to 5.
6
Now listen carefully and answer questions 1 to 5.
7
Hello William!
8
This is Amber.
9
You said to phone if I wanted to get more information about the job agency you mentioned.
10
Is now a good time?
11
Uh, hi Amber.
12
Yes, fine.
13
The agency I was talking about is called Bankside.
14
They're based in Docklands.
15
I can tell you the address now.
16
497 Eastside.
17
OK, thanks.
18
So is there anyone in particular I should speak to there?
19
The agent I always deal with is called Becky Jameson.
20
Let me write that down.
21
Becky!
22
Jameson.
23
J -A -M -I -E -R.
24
S O N.
25
Do you have her direct line?
26
Yes, it's in my contacts somewhere.
27
Right, here we are, 07866510333.
28
I wouldn't call her until the afternoon if I were you.
29
She's always really busy in the morning trying to fill last -minute vacancies.
30
She's really helpful and friendly, so I'm sure it would be worth getting in touch with her for an informal chat.
31
It's mainly clerical and admin jobs they deal with, isn't it?
32
That's right.
33
I know you're hoping to find a full -time job in the media eventually, but Becky mostly recruits temporary staff for the finance sector, which will look good on your CV,
34
and generally pays better too.
35
Yeah, I'm just a bit worried because I don't have much office experience.
36
I wouldn't worry.
37
They'll probably start you as a receptionist or something like that.
38
So what's important for that kind of job isn't so much having business skills or knowing lots of different computer systems, it's communication that really matters,
39
so you'd be fine there and you'll pick up office skills really quickly on the job.
40
It's not that complicated.
41
Okay, good.
42
So how long do people generally need temporary staff for?
43
It would be great if I could get something lasting at least a month.
44
That shouldn't be too difficult.
45
But you're more likely to be offered something for a week at first, which might get extended.
46
It's unusual to be sent somewhere for just a day or two.
47
Right.
48
I've heard the pay isn't too bad.
49
Better than working in a shop or a restaurant.
50
Oh yes, definitely.
51
The hourly rate is about ten pounds, eleven if you're lucky.
52
That's pretty good.
53
I was only expecting to get eight or nine pounds an hour.
54
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, You have some time to look at questions 6 to 10.
55
Now listen and answer questions 6 to 10.
56
Do you want me to tell you anything about the registration process?
57
Yes, please.
58
I know you have to have an interview.
59
The interview usually takes about an hour and you should arrange that about a week in advance.
60
I suppose I should dress smartly if it's for office work.
61
I can probably borrow a suit from Mum.
62
Good idea.
63
It's better to look too smart than too casual.
64
Will I need to bring copies of my exam certificates or anything like that?
65
No, they don't need to see those, I don't think.
66
What about my passport?
67
Oh, yes.
68
They will ask to see that.
69
Okay.
70
I wouldn't get stressed about the interview there.
71
It's just a chance for them to build a relationship with you, so they can try and match you to a job which you'll like.
72
So there are questions about personality that they always ask candidates, fairly basic ones, And they probably won't ask anything too difficult,
73
like what your plans are for the future.
74
Oh, hope not.
75
Anyway, there are lots of benefits to using an agency.
76
For example, the interview will be useful because they'll give you feedback on your performance so you can improve next time.
77
And they'll have access to jobs which aren't advertised.
78
Exactly.
79
Most temporary jobs aren't advertised.
80
And I expect finding a temporary job this way takes a lot less time.
81
It's much easier than ringing up individual companies.
82
Yes, indeed.
83
That is the end of part one.
84
You now have one minute to check your answers to part one.

Why This Video Is Great for English Speaking Practice

This casual phone conversation between Amber and William is perfect for English speaking practice—it’s full of natural, everyday language, not scripted phrases. The dialogue flows like real life, with pauses, clarifications, and practical vocabulary (like job agency terms) that you’d use in daily interactions. It’s also ideal for IELTS speaking practice because it mirrors the kind of conversational fluency examiners look for, focusing on clear communication over complex grammar.

Breaking Down Natural Speech Patterns

Let’s look at a few lines that make this dialogue sound authentic:

  • “I wouldn’t call her until the afternoon if I were you.” This uses a common conditional structure (“if I were you”) to give advice, sounding friendly and not bossy—key for natural conversation.
  • “That shouldn’t be too difficult.” The phrase “shouldn’t be too difficult” softens the statement, avoiding overconfidence. Native speakers often use such qualifiers to sound more approachable.
  • “You’re more likely to be offered something for a week at first, which might get extended.” The use of “more likely” and “might” shows uncertainty, a natural way to discuss possibilities without making absolute claims.

A Simple Shadowing Routine for This Clip

To boost your fluency, try this shadowing exercise (use a shadowing site or app like shadowspeak to record yourself): 1. Watch the video once to understand the context. 2. Play a 5-second clip, pause, and repeat it immediately, mimicking the tone, speed, and pauses. 3. Record your repetition and compare it to the original—note differences in stress (e.g., “really busy”) and intonation. 4. Focus on phrases like “I wouldn’t worry” or “It’s not that complicated” to master conversational flow. Repeat daily for 10 minutes, and you’ll notice your speech sounding more natural in no time. Learning English with YouTube has never been more effective!

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
